London, Sept. 11
Lord Listowel, President of the China Campaign Committee, affiliated to the International Peace Campaign, has written to the Foreign Secretary.
Lord Halifax, requesting strongest possible action by the British Government in Geneva to protest against the use of poison gas by the Japanese troops operating in China, and to urge whatever steps may be necessary to prevent a repetition of this method of warfare which is "a gross violation of international law and. an outrage upon the feelings of the civilized world."
The letter enumerates various cases where the Japanese have allegedly made use of poison gas.—Havas.
